All operational controls have a Teflon coating which resists corrosion and reduces friction. There’s also a port in the barrel breech that acts as a visual loaded chamber indicator. Serrations on the front and back of the slide allow for easier manipulation and press checks. You get not one or two magazines, but three of the all-steel 12-round (or 10-round) magazines, that have a finger rest and polished blue finish! Starting at the top of the pistol, the alloy steel slide is Tenifer-finished matte black for corrosion resistance. Yes, that’s a good price point and there are a few pistols out there that hover around that figure, but for a little over three c-notes, here’s what you get.

To cut to the quick, the G3c MSRP is just $305.74. Like an old exclamation I once heard, “What America needs is a good 5¢ cigar!” Taurus has provided what America needs in a small 9mm with an unbelievable price point. The big surprise is that you get a 22-ounce pistol with a 12+1 capacity. Taurus crammed the new G3c with the same features as its older, bigger sibling, but a 3.2-inch stainless steel barrel reduces the overall length to 6.3 inches, with a height of 5.1 inches and a width of 1.2 inches.
